Distress: Nilong Changming Knife is Invisible

Chapter 695 694. The ferocious wolf general

"...With a small amount of losses, he tested the enemy's true and false situation, killed two of the enemy's strong generals, and caused the enemy to misjudge his own strength, amplifying the enemy's underestimation of the enemy... Ha."

Sanada Ryuumasa couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the battle report coming from the General's Mansion.

He didn't sigh that he could still say this.

He has been dealing with Iwatang for almost twenty years, and he already knows what kind of person Iwatang is.

And Sanada Ryuumasa did not take Kyogoku Kihiko's disadvantage in the first battle to heart. He had already predicted that Kyogoku Kihiko might suffer a slight setback.

With Kyogoku Kihiko's arrogance and aggressiveness, he will suffer a small loss in the first battle, which will not surprise Sanada Ryumasa in the slightest.

Next, it depends on Kyogoku Kihiko's next move, whether he is eager to regain his face and continue to act impulsively, or whether he regains his sense and makes the right response.

Sanada Ryumasa is more inclined to the latter. Kyogoku Kihiko is not lacking in cunning. This battle has knocked out his arrogance, and he will adjust his strategy in time.

However, Sanada Ryuumasa still has some hidden worries in his heart... He always feels that there is a deeper conspiracy hidden behind this whole incident.

But what it is, he has not been able to find any clues so far.

However, Sanada Ryuumasa is not too worried. After all, they have an invincible military god. This is a person who can use his personal strength to reverse the situation of the war and even the world. No, a god.

There really is a god in the world, and this god is in Japan - Sanada Ryuumasa firmly believes that no matter what conspiracy there is, it will be vulnerable to the power of the gods.

The secret layout of someone and his military adviser, the in-depth operation little by little, and no extraordinary performance. Everything can give reasonable guesses, so that even the most wise man in Japan failed to realize the true seriousness of the problem.

Sanada Ryuumasa is still closely observing the current situation and starting to investigate several suspicious enemies, namely the Nineteenth Master, Mo Zhaonu, Ryomine Sadayoshi, Imagawa King and others. All the people related to these targets are all related. Information, hoping to find clues.

The God of War, Minamoto Musashi, is paying close attention to the battle situation. As long as Kyogoku Onihiko wins, once there is a problem, he will take over the war as soon as possible and wipe out the remnants of the Demon Festival as quickly as possible.

Kyogoku Kihiko, after returning to the temporary camp, urged Amagari Fukaku to speed up and sent envoys to the surrounding daimyo to borrow troops.

After a night's rest, well, the soldiers rested, but Kyogoku Kihiko was so angry that he stayed up all night, but he didn't come up with any strategy to defeat the enemy.

At noon, soldiers suddenly came to report, and White Fox Junyu Inuwamaru came with reinforcements.

Kyogoku Kihiko's eyes flashed, he had no plan to defeat the enemy, but he had a plan to tire him out.

"Lieutenant General Kyogoku, I, General Fengyando, am here to assist you."

Inuwakamaru's complexion was still not good, and he had become a loner. All three of his strong generals were killed in the battle, and there was not even a master to support the scene.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Jun Yu."

In his heart, Kyogoku Kihiko cursed Inuwakamaru as a waste and a pig, but on the surface, he was the head of a feudal state entrusted by the emperor and a true nobleman, so Kyogoku Kihiko could not be rude.

However, Inuwakamaru is still a general in the shogunate, and is now Kyogoku Kihiko's deputy. In terms of official duties, Kyogoku Kihiko will not be polite to him.

"Jun Yu has not recovered from his serious injury, so he should not work hard. It is better to rest more, take good care of his body, and then serve the country."

"Thank you, General Kyogoku, for your concern. Then, the general will have to lead the soldiers I brought."

Inuwakamaru behaved very politely.

Didn't General Iwatō feel that the previous sword strike wasn't severe enough?

He simply had fun and handed all the troops in his hands to Kyogoku Kihiko.

He doesn't need these people anyway.

"Very good, please go and have a rest for Jun Yu. I will arrange for the best military doctor to diagnose and treat Jun Yu." "Thank you, please."

Inuwakamaru led three hundred personal guards very freely and settled into the most remote corner of the camp.

Kyogoku Kihiko sent people to quickly receive Inuwakamaru's troops.

These are elites who are only slightly inferior to the Kamikaze battalion. Nearly half of them are proficient in using muskets, and there are hundreds of gunners who can operate large barrels (artillery). This is a troop that any daimyo will covet.

However, Kyogoku Kihiko planned to let all these people specialize in another branch of the army, the death squads.

He doesn't care how many resources it takes to train these people, it's not his resource.

Moreover, General Yantang secretly told him to strike the White Fox Kingdom with a knife.

Using these people as death squads is just making the best use of them.

These humiliated and defeated losers died on the battlefield. It was their glory!

"...Omi Kingdom only gave one thousand people?"

"Yes, and they are old, weak, sick and disabled."

The envoy to Omi Country returned and brought such news to Kyogoku Kihiko.

That greedy and stingy useless pig!

Kyogoku Kihiko cursed secretly, and at the same time his eyes flashed fiercely, "Good-for-nothing pig, are you not afraid of banditry in the country?"

That night, five hundred "bandits" suddenly attacked the main city of Omi Kingdom, killing people and setting fires. At the same time, they attacked the castle tower and killed the Lord of Omi Kingdom who was enjoying the day and night.

The next day, Omi country was in turmoil, and bandits were ready to attack everywhere. In the name of suppressing bandits, Kyogoku Kihiko sent out cavalry to wipe out more than 30 large-scale bandit strongholds and captured nearly 10,000 people.

These nearly ten thousand people are not all bandits, but most of them are civilians controlled by bandits, and are treated as bandits by Kyogoku Kihiko.

Immediately afterwards, an envoy from the Shogunate arrived and temporarily appointed the youngest son of Lord Omi as the new daimyo, appointed officials who had submitted to the Shogunate as auxiliary ministers, and asked Kyogoku Kihiko to temporarily take over the army.

In this way, after Kyogoku Kihiko obtained nearly 6,000 men from Inuwakamaru, he also obtained more than 5,000 troops and nearly 10,000 prisoners of war from Omi Kingdom.

His troops rapidly expanded, and then he launched a second wave of offensive.

Kyogoku Onihiko asked the armies of Baihu Omi and the two countries to drive the prisoners of war to the stronghold of the Oni Festival remnants, while he brought 20,000 cavalry to suppress the formation.

Outside the stronghold, Kyogoku Kihiko asked the two armies to drive the prisoners of war into the valley, and then launched an siege.

Of course, the unarmed prisoners of war did not want to attack the city, but they were threatened by swords behind them. Kyogoku Kihiko even ordered the army to kill directly and threatened the prisoners of war with death. This finally aroused the fear of the prisoners of war and rushed to the stronghold desperately.

At this time, ravines had been dug around the stronghold, a simple defense circle had been established, and three thousand soldiers were defending it.

This is not someone hired by Master Nineteen, but someone secretly supported by Kono and Imagawa.

Mie Lun Samsara and Yao Qin Qiao Yun had already controlled the heads of state and important officials and generals of the two countries with the secret method of confusing their minds, and then ordered them to secretly send soldiers to help. These three thousand people were the first wave of reinforcements. Although they are not elites, they are still specially trained warriors.

Each of these warriors was armed with a musket, and there were ten large cannons in front of the formation. Facing the surging crowd, the guns and cannons fired in unison, which immediately... created a certain obstacle for the enemy.

The muskets were not submachine guns, let alone Gatlings. They could not completely stop the prisoners of war who had been driven crazy. One trench after another was constantly being lost, and nearly 10,000 prisoners of war cleared the obstacles with their own flesh and blood.

Finally, after nearly one-third of the casualties occurred, the morale of the soldiers from both countries collapsed. Facing the crazy prisoners of war, they were completely defeated. They also became part of the prisoners of war, changed their direction, and rushed towards the stronghold wall.
